Can you please cite the source for this? I have not read that the AZW format has been broken. People, however, have figured out how to read mobipocket protected formats on the kindle. That's a big difference.
A hacked AZW format would allow me to convert it to non-DRM format and even share it with other kindles.
If you open an AZW it's essentially modified HTML. I don't know if a converter is public or not - I frankly don't mind DRM very much - but getting information out of AZW and into other formats isn't particularly difficult if you really care to.
